過去，許多學者已經對擁有較高知識者受定錨影響較少的情況做出研究結果。然而，現實生活中，它的情況可能是相當複雜的，而不是一個純粹的高(或低)錨點的存在。因此，我們處理了四個實驗來驗證知識與定錨之間的關係。在實驗一中，我們先對過去學者已完成的研究結果，即知識水準的確會對定錨產生干擾效果，再做一次的實驗確認，而這個研究的結果也將成為我們後續研究的基礎。在這個基礎上，我們將用三個實驗來證明：當面臨高複雜度及困難度且在短時間內必須處理的估計時(實驗二)、當訊息的來源具有相當的可信度時(實驗三)以及在缺乏實務經驗時(實驗四)，高知識者仍會有定錨效應的產生，而實驗結果和我們的推論是一致的。

Many researchers have demonstrated that those people with higher knowledge are less subject to the impact of a given anchor. In real life, however, a situation might be quite complicated and not simply a question an existing high (or low) anchor. We have designed four tests to demonstrate the relation between knowledge and anchoring. We hold that only in general situations can knowledge interfere with the anchoring effect. Study 1 was used to demonstrate this hypothesis. The research result in turn served as the foundation for our follow-up studies. Based on this foundation, we conducted three experiments to demonstrate that, when faced with a complicated and difficult estimation that must be completed within a short period of time (Study 2), when the source of information possesses a high degree of reliability (Study 3), and when practical experience is lacking (Study 4), the anchoring effect will still exert influences on people with higher knowledge.
